Always loved Emmylou's version of this, but this is great too.  So who's the original and who's the cover?

Few artists' music seems as personal and approachable as Mr. Earle's. This one's a beaut.

Oh, this is sweet, and heartbreaking. As only Steve Earle can do.

Steve Earle - "Goodbye" Live (1998)


Recorded Oct 1998. Sessions At West 54th. Show also featured The Del McCoury Band. The song is from Steve`s terrific 1995 album "Train A Comin`". Thanks to 'mcaguitars' I now know that the guitar is a Gibson 'Roy Smeck' Re-issue.

"The picking is not that easy. Steve's uses hammers on between G and G4, and does the same for D7(sus2?)/F# and D6/F# and most of the other chords. Chords out there will only give you the basic which feels rather unsatisfying after you have listen to this very fine piece of music. Apart from that, it is a fairly standard alternative thumb picking. After a couple of weeks it should feel natural. He uses it on a wealth of other songs so it really is worthy to learn his picking style."       buckyk4tt

"Steve has a signature Martin guitar. I think it's M21 Steve Earle. Great sound and reasonable price for a Steve fan."       asatelado

Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris - "Goodbye" Live
"Well, understand that what's on radio and the mainstream, has nothing to do with true talent. It has to do with selling records to the mass of sheeple who all think they like the same things. True talent, like this, is appreciated by the ones who recognize true talent.Us!
That's all that matters :-)"

No plays for this song? That's a shame. It's one of his best IMO.

Despite his more recent albums, this one defines Steve Earle for me...

"Nothin Without You" w/ EmmyLou on this album... is, well, music to my ears
